2006 Turkish Rally champion, Ercan Kazaz will compete on his home event this weekend - the Rally of Turkey, the thirteenth round in the 2006 FIA World Rally Championship.

Kazaz will be competing at the wheel of his Subaru Impreza WRC 2005 and it will be an important event for the veteran as it will be the first time he will drive a WRC car in a World Rally Championship event.

Kazaz is really excited: "For the last 21 years, I have been rallying with Pirelli tyres. It's a great honour to be supported by Pirelli on the Rally of Turkey, my home event. I want to try my best and get a good result amongst the M2 drivers with the help of my long term partners Subaru and Pirelli," he noted.

"Also I would like to thank Varta batteries for their support as this will be their first motorsport sponsorship in Turkey."

The Subaru Turkey Rally Team will enter three cars on this weekend's event and in addition to Kazaz, Hakan Dinc will also be in action in a Group N Impreza, while Hasan Ozseyhan re-joins the outfit after missing the Bursa Rally.
